10 Cheesiest Music Videos In Wrestling History
3. Hulk Hogan, "Real American" (WWE, 1985)
In 1985, no wrestler needed promotion less than Hulk Hogan. He was so popular that all you had to do to promote a show was say he'd be there, and boom, show promoted. He was already such a singular entity that anyone considering going to a wrestling show already knew everything they needed to know about Hogan. It would not be necessary, for example, to film a music video in which Hogan plays a star-spangled bass guitar while creeping on the Statue of Liberty, but, well, here we are.
And that's not all! This video also contains such classically American imagery as old-timey footage of biplanes crashing and buildings being demolished. You also get to see a giant Hogan rear-projected behind and in front of national landmarks like he's the Amazing Colossal Man, but the best part is him collapsing to the ground to hold his shin, Peter Griffin-style, to illustrate that "it hurts inside."
